TikTok has new weapons against AI for users who want it off their feed
"The 'Manage topics' feature already gives users the ability to tell TikTok's algorithm what type of content they want to see in the For Your feeds as it pertains to a specific content category like 'Current Affairs,' 'Health & Fitness,' or 'Fashion & Beauty.' The AI-generated content topic control is different then all those as it appears to be the first that spans all of TikTok's topic categories and explicitly deals with how the content is created."
"TikTok makes it pretty clear in its announcement that the company itself isn't anti-AI, saying it "believes AI can transform how people share their creativity, discover new passions, and stay safe on our platform, when used transparently and responsibly" and that it "invests in AI-powered experiences that create value for our community." However, the company also stresses multiple times that it's important to be transparent to users."
"Social media users seem to be getting sick and tired of AI-generated content on their favorite platforms. And the backlash against AI-created content, or "AI slop" as it's often referred to, is growing. The big social media platforms appear to have noticed this anti-AI sentiment. Last month, for example, Pinterest launched a new feature that completely filters out AI content if users choose to do so."
Social media users are increasingly rejecting AI-generated content, driving a backlash against so-called "AI slop." Major platforms are responding by offering tools that reduce or filter AI-created material. Pinterest launched an option to completely filter out AI content for users. TikTok is testing a cross-category AI-generated content control within Manage topics to let users adjust how much AI content appears in For You feeds. TikTok is also developing invisible watermarking to support existing AI labeling policies. TikTok emphasizes support for AI when used transparently and responsibly, and stresses the importance of user transparency and choice.
